November 14, 1946 — Joe Zenko returns the opening kickoff for a touchdown and Billy Hook reaches the end zone three times to lead Coaldale to a 27-6 victory over Hazle Township. Zenko picks up the ball on his 4-yard line and races 96 yards for a score to give the Tigers an early advantage. Hook extends the lead later in the opening frame on an 8-yard tally. After giving up a TD in the second quarter, Coaldale strikes back immediately and Hook gets to the end zone from 13 yards away. The Tigers add some insurance in the fourth quarter after Frank Trimmel intercepts a pass. Hook eventually blasts over the goal line from a yard out to secure the win.
